During November 2024, Paul Byrne focused on enhancing authentication and security for the hmrc/debt-transformation-stub repository. He developed a secure bearer token handling and authentication flow, introducing conditional logic to retrieve tokens based on client ID and enforcing the use of a specific bearer token for scheduled PEGA update calls. This approach improved request validation and reduced the risk of token misuse in automated flows. Working primarily with Java and Scala in the Play Framework, Paul applied his skills in API development and backend engineering to address DTD-2921, delivering a targeted feature that strengthened integration and security without introducing new bugs.
